For those who don't know, the singer was raped at the start of her career by a producer 20 years her senior. The hit maker only recently revealed the disturbing info to Howard Stern in an 2014 interview despite the 2013 release of Swine, a song all about sexual violence.

We're glad L.G. is making this information so public — while not everyone experiences trauma the same way, it's helpful for people to know that sexual violence can manifest in many different ways.

Hopefully GaGa's courage inspires other victims to deal with their trauma as well.

As the final divorce docs are set to be stamped by a judge on that day just over a week from right now, the final terms are pretty standard and straightforward, too:
